LIGHTER, STRONGER, HIGHEST QUALITY
We have never seen a kite cover as wide a range of use as the Element. All the way from big air to foilboarding and from amateur to expert. We have never had more confidence in a kite to perform for anyone, anywhere. A true performance all-rounder.
The heart of a kite is its shape and profile. The Element delta hybrid design has been carefully optimized to give the optimum lift/stability ratio. We individually optimized the width and length of each panel to maximize the ratio between lift and weight. This means maximum ratio in the center of the kite where we need maximum lift.
Mixing All-Terrain usability with high performance the Element utilizes the rigidity of a 5 strut structure. This gives the Element a significant performance advantage over other crossover kites.
The wingtip has been optimized to give you the highest performance possible while allowing the kite to freely roll over for easy water re-launching. Swept edge, stable mid-profile and the added rigidity of a 5th strut.
The optimized low profile tangle-free pulley bridle gives the Element the widest range of use and smooth predictable control a fixed bridle design could not match. To ensure strength and longevity we used the strongest and very best pulleys and lines available.
We have implemented an all-new bladder construction technique utilizing higher strength TPU welding processes, double seams, strongest TPU materials available and an all-new one-pump valve inflation system. The strongest and easiest to use bladder inflation system we have tested.
The Leading Edge has been redesigned using a secondary load distribution frame. This reduces weight and maximizes durability.
